How did you remap that key so usefully? In Ubuntu, it's System, Preferences, Keyboard, then the Layouts tab and select "Layout Options". On other modern distro's it's probably something similarly logical. If you are using an older or more minimalistic window managers / desktops, there are settings in the X configuration files to get the same effect - the same goes for when working without X. Then you press something like: <compose-shift-T-H> <compose-"-i> <compose-s-s>, etc.

I am transitioning from opensuse 10.3 to opensuse 11.1. There is a lot of X changes under the hood.

What an American calls an American is also very ambiguous to me. Indeed, most Americans speak Spanish, not English :-)
